Ugh. Graceless, artless, expensive. But at least you don't have nether pumps, amirite?

This already happens with normal dungeons. It goes something like this: "Core the wall: I see... plant aspects at this depth? Very well. Portable... HOOOLLLLEEEEEEE!" Then you dash in, plant a torch, and clear the room. <3 portable holes. I've found more dungeons since breaking into Tier 3...

But then how do you move large masses of water? This seems like it's throwing out the baby with the bathwater just to make a very weird point. You know another solution? Just make ONE interdimensional lava plant and give everyone access. :\

I doubt you're out-powering the quarry with that configuration... Come to think of it, I had this problem too. The conclusion I came up with is that there is a sort of maximum throughput for non-wooden conductive pipes (even gold ones) so when you serially chain these, they don't work as...

When your wife asks you to pick up some cake before you come home tonight and you realize she was talking about the minecraft session scheduled for later in the day, not your actual commute home from work.

The UNIX command you're looking for is nice. The usual way I start my minecraft server is to use a tool like GNU Screen or Tmux (I prefer the later) to launch the server. I usually give it -Xmx2G -Xms1G if it's going to be using 1-10 people (you'd use much more if you have more than 10...

I love Elo's work, but this is exactly it. And, if you'll forgive my rant, the most charitable reading is either incredible hubris or deep insecurity. She could add it to Forge. Everyone would thank her, because everyone wants it. She could give someone else access to the codebase to make it...

Are they being loaded heavily? One of the reasons that there aren't many dynamic rendering texture blocks like the barrels is that if not done properly it can get very expensive, both in terms of actual rendering updates and in terms of the JVM's management of long-lived objects evicted from the...

Wow. This is different. Usually I see, "Seeking technical cofounder." It's too bad clj_minecraft assassinates old computers or I'd totally take you up on this. :\ I just... I just cannot do my current job and also write Java for an off-hours project. You have no idea the terrible things I'm...

They are, I'm told. Zombie brains are the new ender pearls. And since they let you make immovable objects, it is good they remain rare.

So are people asking for Civilization in Minecraft?

Buildcraft is sort of shockingly bad at this compared to filters or transposers from RP2. Another really powerful non-redpower solution is a pair of Routers from Factoization.

Outputs from tanks do not require pumps. See DW's most recent spotlight for it in action.

Don't do the Thaumcraft Arcane Levitators unless the idea is truly precious to you. Air shards are ludicrously rare right now and you have many other uses.

Also, if you DO care about the local environment you should cultivate large pure node near your workshop. You do this by repeatedly growing silverwood trees close to one another until their node side exceeds the next closest natural node, then use basic aura manipulation to tug the other node...

In the current modpacks, it's pretty easy. The only hard part is the machine filter, which is only craftable via a dungeon drop. But the normal ones? Easy. So setting up fleets of identical blocks for insertion and removal is easy. Double easy with the configurable sides of TE machines. For TE...

Just a note, redpower 2 fluid work with these tanks and don't require a redstone signal.

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but people make flux out to be a much bigger problem than it actually is. I've made 6 arcane bellows, 12 golems, an infernal furnace, 2 sets of goggles, a portable hole, boots of the traveller, robes for everyone I know, a wand of lightning, a wand of fire, a...

Whoah whoah whoah. I didn't know this! Do all aspects work this way?

Why is RP2 + Craftpackets "Kludgy" ? I've seen some pretty elegant setups involving this. Craftpackets are useful for automation of flexible systems. BuildCraft's stuff is useful for automation of repetitive single-task stuff.
